No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Standard of care dictates that eligible patients should receive an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening ultrasound. At present, different military primary care physicians utilize different methods at their discretion to ensure their patients get screened-telephone contact; mail-out reminders; referring patients for ultrasound directly from an office visit; as well as other methods-which we will refer to as "usual care". The purpose of this study is to improve screening rates for AAA and determine what notification methods are best at improving screening rates.
